    The main notable from Clarence’s hearings were the very convincing rape accusations. He may have an absolutely ineffable personal philosophy that can be better described by his list of personal grudges rather than any coherent framework, but he’s also probably a rapist. Not that he’s the only conservative justice with that claim…

    And don’t forget about Alito and the absolutely smoothbrain things he repeatedly puts into writing. Like in Sackett vs EPA just recently, in which Alito asserted that the EPA’s specific assignment of keeping federal waterways & wetlands clean doesn’t include oversight over the direct tributaries to those environments because the law says they only can do so for “adjacent” waterways and “adjacent” MUST mean a continuous, undammed surface connection and not things like groundwater. Anyone who knows anything about water knows that only a blithering idiot would dare commit such an insanely stupid belief to paper, yet here we are. And this is just a recent example, his whole career is filled with moron nuggets because he is a moron.
